Charles Perrault wrote his fairy stories in the 1600s and in so doing established a new genre of story-telling for children. He can be ranked with the brothers Grimm and with Hans Christian Andersen as masters in this class of literature. Because he wrote so much earlier than Grimm and Andersen, much of his work was copied, adapted, or even passed off as original by these later writers. His stories include the best-known stories in this category, such as 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Cinderella' and 'Little Red Riding Hood'.
